is halogen used as heat source or is it an element like a stovetop.

It's a heating coil not a halogen bulb. I chose this because if that. The halogen bulb breaks and you cannot replace it.

Because the think emits no light and there is no mention of a bulb in the operating instructions, I would say that it must be a heating element of some sort. It is a convection oven and blows super heated air into the container. I see others answered this question and confirmed my assumption.

Hi, there is a metal/steel at the bottom inside the pot, I believed it's a heat element.

I have a gas range and I always use it on the stove top before I put it in it's base and it works great. It doesn't matters what your heat source is because the bottom of it is just like a skillet.

No, the heat source is propane gas. However, we are fully satisfied with the results. Heat control is even and easy with thermometer on lid, and the thick grill bars retain heat.

Yes. It says any source or heat. My father-in-law used it on our gas stove.

Hi Christa, we have designed a cover specifically for SolSource available here on Amazon: http://amzn.com/B00JUPOXDQ. As far as safety goes, SolSource is very safe with proper use, and the reflective panels never get hot while you're using it. The only thing that gets hot is your food, cookware, and the pot stand, just like on a traditional stove. Without the purchase of a cover, it is important to take off the reflective dish and put it away from the sun when not in use, just as you would turn off the heat on a traditional stove. Hope this helps! - Daniel from One Earth Designs

Radiant Cooktop ConvenienceA radiant cooktop makes it easier to clean the burner since the entire unit is flat. Unlike some stovetops, food spills can't fall under the burner. Additionally, pots or pans with flat bottoms work well with radiant cooktops since they sit directly on the burner.Halogen CooktopsHalogen cooktops work with halogen bulbs. Similar to radiant cooktops, halogen cooktops have stylish ceramic surfaces. Additionally, this type of cooktop is available with hot-surface indicators to alert you of a hot surface.Read more : http://www.ehow.com/info_12037165_differences-between-radiant-halogen-cooktops.html Radiant Cooktop ConvenienceA radiant cooktop makes it easier to clean the burner since the entire unit is flat.

Per Calphalon website - Stovetop Use - Safe for use on gas, electric, electric coil, halogen, and ceramic cook tops. To determine if your pan is induction capable, look on the bottom of the pan for the Induction icon, or try the magnet test. If a magnet will stick to your pan, it will work on induction cook tops.

It's a pretty large unit, 16"w x 9"h x 10.5"d (12" if you count handle)outside is metal I think stainless on the front and black painted aluminum. The heating element I have no idea, it doesnt look like metal but similar to whats on an electric stove. it does have one element on top and one on bottom. I love mine, use it for toasting, baking cookies, I've even made salmon in it successfully

I've used it on an electric stove, but it takes a quite a bit longer to heat up compared to a gas stove, mainly because of the small surface area touching the electric element.

The answer is that a halogen lamp IS incandescent in that the light is produced by current flowing through a filament which is heated to a high temperature. The difference is that 'halogen' lamps operate at a higher temperature and have an internal atmosphere of a halogen gas (normally iodine or bromine or a combination) which allow the lamp's envelope to remain clear rather than being clouded by evaporated metal from the filament while regular 'incandescent' lamps have a semi-vacuum/inert atmosphere. Electrically the two lamps are identical.

to Markmurto, have you adapted NuWave recipes to this oven? I have the Oyama arriving tomorrow, since it is non-halgen and supposedly short on recipes and all the cookbooks for this type oven are halogen inspred, I'm thinking I'll be "creatively adapting" all my regular cooking times/temps with this oven. I did not want halogen because of burnt/exploding bulb/burnt socket issues I've read with the halogens. Any answer from you (or others) is appreciated, thank you!

110v. The glass bowl and around it get warm but not nearly hot enough to cause a fire. It would be very difficult to accidentally start something on fire with this oven. The other thing that I would recommend is not to put foods that splatter grease such as sausage and bacon close to the top, it can cause early burnout of the halogen bulb. My bulb has burned out twice since I purchased it about 1 year ago. Nothing to worry about though just email the company and they send out the new bulb in a couple days.

In directions for use, says these coffee makers are suitable for all cooking surfaces, meaning: halogen, induction, electric, gas, ceramic and radiant. Tried with a magnet and It sticks to all the bottom. Also, in product description says : It's induction base is suitable for all cooking surfaces including the new trend of induction cooktops.

I am not sure about the context of your question. As for the stove top, it can take a lot of heat. But I wouldn't leave it on a flame or burner with nothing in it. It is high quality, heavy gauge, stainless steel. I have used it under the broiler for 20 minutes with no problem. Just watch out for the handle.
